An exhibition titled Black Wings and Autumn Leaves has opened at Gallery North, gathering a wide selection of creative works centered on the changing season. The display explores the shifting colors, textures, wildlife, and overall mood associated with fall, ranging from images of birds in flight against an October sky to depictions of woodland scenery, changing foliage, and the quieter, more somber atmosphere of the time of year. Each participating artist offers a personal perspective on this evocative period.

Operating as a cooperative run by its members, Gallery North provides a home for a diverse community of creators from the local and regional area. This particular exhibition offers a chance to view a broad spectrum of media in a single location, including painting, photography, jewelry, ceramics, glass, fiber arts, and mixed media.

While individual voices and artistic methods vary across the group, the collection is united by a shared connection to the natural world and the transitional nature of autumn in the Pacific Northwest. The resulting body of work ranges from the familiar to the atmospheric and mysterious, reflecting the shifting mood of the season.

Artists will be on hand to meet with the public during the Edmonds Art Walk on Thursday, October 15, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. The event is free for all attendees, providing an opportunity to view the exhibition, engage with the creators, and participate in the creative community of downtown Edmonds.
